National Institute of rural Development Hyderabad (NIRD)

Objectives
Government of Kerala has decided to conduct an Action Research for augmenting income of families in the four selected colonies of SC communities and four hamlets of Scheduled Tribes Communities across the state to act as models for future developments.

Remarks
Government examined this proposal and found wanting details. ISA analyzed this proposal from NIRD and decided to supplement the proposal by preparing a detailed proposal for the tribal hamlet- Abbanoor in Attappady. Though DG, NIRD agreed to take up this project, no further proposal was submitted by NIRD to State Planning Board. This is a very important project and we may take up this project (for eight colonies) in association with similarly placed organizations.
